|
|
|
|
| Pishogue

In addition, he must make a Resolve + Composure roll at the same penalty whenever he encounters an entity of Glamour or react with great terror.
Favor: Reverses the rolls of debtor and owed.

| Banishment

|
|
|
| Death*
|
| As soon as the oath is broken, the betrayed party immediately loses a dot of Willpower, and the traitor becomes immediately aware of what's happening. Then, within a number of days equal to the betrayed's Wyrd, the betrayer will encounter a fatal and often ironically appropriate accident. If the betrayer manages to convince the betrayed to forgive him before his doom claims him, the betrayed immediately recovers his lost willpower point and the doom is lifted, but the forgiveness must be genuine and uncoerced.
|

|
| Vulnerability
|
| Strips the defense of the oathbreaker against the betrayed. Vulnerability to Glamour causes the oathbreaker to lose his normal resistance to the Contracts and powers of the one he betrayed.

|
|
| Generational*
|
| The pledge lasts for the life of the oathbound, but when the oathbound dies, the pledge is not ended. Instead, responsibility for the pledge is passed on to the next generation. It isn't required that the next generation be blood-related to the original oathbound - these pledges are often passed to heirs acknowledged before the ruler of a freehold. These pledges also require the expenditure of a dot of Willpower. The oath lasts for a number of generations equal to the Wyrd of the oathtaker that spent the willpower dot originally.
